Pierce Rivers Ace to Stay Alive
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
A series of preflop raises saw John Pierce get his 630,000 stack into the middle from the cutoff and Josh Reichard called from the hijack.
John Pierce: 
Josh Reichard: 
Pierce held the best pocket pair and the 
flop didn't change a thing.
The 
turn did put Reichard in the lead with a set, but the roller-coaster ride wasn't over as the dealer dropped the 
on the river to keep Pierce's Main Event alive.
